Introducing the “Divine Love” John 3:16 Pendant
by Kevin Rasmusen on April 26, 2008
“Wow! That’s awesome!” exclaimed the worship leader
as he held the pendant while its symbols were explained to him.
Dear friend,
The “Divine Love” John 3:16 Pendant is a circular, pewter pendant that expresses John 3:16 in symbols — not with words — so that it has worldwide appeal, across all language and cultural barriers.
It is meant to hang from a fine chain, or a leather cord — around your neck … or your rearview mirror. The pendant measures only 3 cm (1.25 inches) in diameter. A beautiful adornment that quietly expresses God’s love for the world.
Why am I making this original art from Enok O available? There are two, main reasons –
First: Because I am committed to the cross-cultural communication of God’s love.
It doesn’t matter what language the people around you are speaking, whether you’re on a missions trip in another country — or simply in a different ethnic neighborhood in your own city. The images in the pendant — as you can see in the photo — express the seven separate phrases in John 3:16 –
Theta, the Greek symbol for “God,”
a heart for “so loved,”
a circle for “the world,”
a cross for “only begotten Son,”
a fish for “believes,”
flames for “perish,” and
a shooting star for “everlasting life.”
“In fact, it’s a great conversation starter,” says Enok O, the pendant’s designer. “When I was wearing it after I made the original, my friends — and even strangers — asked me questions because they didn’t understand it. So I was able to explain it to them. They said it was a cool idea, and several of them wanted one.”
Second: Because I want your group to have a symbol that represents your common bond.
You know that group identity for your youth group is very important. You share common values and goals.
With the “Divine Love” John 3:16 pendant, now you can demonstrate your common bond, much like the WWJD wristbands did.
Remember:
¨ The pendant is not coined, or stamped, but instead it is cast in pewter, bronze or silver.
¨ The medallion is a symbolic, wordless representation of John 3:16, and therefore crosses all language and cultural boundaries.
¨ Every portion of the circular pendant depicts a separate phrase in the verse.
¨ A booklet that identifies each section of the medallion, as shown below, is included free with every pendant.
¨ Every pendant also comes with a chain.
¨ Offered in five metals: pewter (now only $5.95) as well as white bronze, yellow bronze, nickel silver and sterling silver (by special order).
¨ Also available as a pin (silver only), or can be used as keychain, rearview mirror décor, or Christmas tree ornament.
Thank you very much for your order!
